Kovent

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kovent ( also: Kofent ) is a thin beer or Nachbier, which in earlier times was made by a cold infusion on the spent grains after deducting the second wort , but is now only made as a house drink. The name is said to have originated from convent beer, ie beer of the conventuals or monastery brothers, in contrast to the stronger (gentlemen's) beer of the fathers .
